3 Marketing Strategies Most Businesses Never Think About
By Dan Lok

«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»

Have you ever sat down and wondered how you can build the core strength of your business? You’re in business to make money. We all are. But step away from images of cash and fat bank accounts for a moment.

Today you’ll learn 3 serious strategies you can start implementing right away. And if you do it… you’ll discover a LOT about your business, your customers, and you’ll have a clear path.

Business Building Strategy #1:  Talk to your customers

Effective marketing begins with knowing about your customers. And there’s NO better way than to simply talk to them. I don’t mean just put up a blog, post some comments and see who replies.

I’ve seen way too many established marketers who either don’t interact, or do it very minimally, with their established and potential customers.

If you’ve successfully branded your self, or want to, then realize that people just don’t want to buy from you… they want YOU! So give them what they want and in return you’ll get what you want.

People really do want to tell you what they’re thinking, or what they want.

There are so many questions you can ask them. Ask them about your business, how you’re doing with products, your customer service, how could you make a product better, did it satisfy their needs, if not… why not, on and on and on. Ask them about their problems, their buying experience with you.

You see? It’s so simple.

You can learn SO much from your customers and potential customers. And they’ll become even more valuable to you. And…

Do not forget to listen!

Business Building Strategy #2:  Organize your customers

You never market to “the general public.” Got that?

It all depends on your market. But who makes up your market? You have men, women, teenagers, adults, younger and older adults, race and ethnicity, geographic location, income, etc. And they ALL respond in different ways to your marketing approaches.

So you need to organize your target market into related groups. Then you learn the most effective way to communicate with them. At that point you can refine your marketing to each group based on what works best. You can buy this kind of research, or start doing your very own testing. It’ll be priceless testing.

You can organize your market according to behaviors. Usually you will look at a particular market group and divide them into practical categories. For example, younger adults who are in college. Teenagers planning to attend college. Older adults by professional status, hobbies, buying habits between men and women.

It really depends on what you’re marketing that will determine how you want to organize your overall target market.

Business Building Strategy #3:  Business and product positioning

Very simply your business/product positioning determines how your target market thinks about you compared to your competition. Think about all the adjectives businesses use to describe how great or unique their product, business, or service is.

You have the cheapest, least expensive, the freshest, the most exciting, the most athletic, the classiest, the most masculine, or the most feminine. You need to subtly, or not so subtly, compare what you offer in relation to the alternatives.

And you have to do it in a way that makes yours standout from the marketing roar.

There are several considerations when you’re talking about positioning.

It’s typically based on benefits or removing barriers. One effective way to find out what benefits your market is looking for is to simply ask them. But we’ve covered that. So there is just ONE benefit of talking to your customers, or potential customers. And you must realize this… what you think the benefits are might be different from what is matters to your customers!

So there you have it.

The first place to start thinking about is your target market. Do some serious thinking and figure out EXACTLY who your market is. Then you know what needs to be done.

Set Permissions & Secure Your Files
by Syd Tash

 I usually write about safety and security on the Internet. Security starts with your own computer, especially if you share your PC with other family members or co-workers.  In that case, you probably want to keep prying eyes out of your files and information.  You can easily do this by setting up individual accounts for each user, and even password-protecting them. Click Start, Control Panel, User Accounts.

But there is another tool in Windows XP which allows you to regulate who can open, edit or execute a file or program. Reboot your computer into Safe Mode by pressing F8 repeatedly (or Esc on some computers) as soon as Windows starts loading. If you have difficulty getting into Safe Mode, use msconfig.

Click Start, Run, type  msconfig  into the box and click OK. Click the BOOT.INI tab and click the checkbox next to /SAFEBOOT.  Select MINIMAL if you are NOT on a network.  Click Apply, OK or Close, and restart your computer.

Click your Administrator or main account.  If some of your files and folders seem to be missing in action, reboot and click on another Administrator account.  Once in Windows, highlight a file or application by sliding your mouse over it, and right-click it.  Click Permissions, Security tab, or click Properties, Security tab.

We have finally arrived at the main event.  You will now see a box, divided into two parts.  The upper part shows a list of users, and the bottom section gives the permissions you can specify for each user.  Just highlight a user in the top half, and set the permissions for that user for the current file, folder or application, in the bottom half.  Try this with different files.  Boot up normally in Windows, to see how the files and accounts are affected.

This procedure can be very useful if you have a lot of visitors to your house who use your computer without so much as a by-your-leave, like around Christmas time.  Final note:  if you used the msconfig utility above to get into Safe Mode, do not forget to go back and change the settings back to normal bootup.
